July 25, 201213 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) His OPS is 9 points higher than Tyler Flowers' Yeah...I hear what you're sayin' based on stats alone. What was Youk's OPS before he came over btw? Olivo > Flowers...just sayin.
July 25, 201213 yr In a small way this is a blessing. It will give Flowers some consistent ABs for a few days to try to get some rhythm together.
July 25, 201213 yr My gosh, Flowers is NOT terrible. Give the kid a chance. You can't hit like Miguel Cabrera if you're sitting on the bench at least 6 times a week.
July 25, 201213 yr What the... seriously folks? AJ is sitting for a game or two with a mild strain, and we're saying we need a new catcher? WTF? Settle down. Tyler needs some AB's anyway, and we're playing the Twins right now.
July 25, 201213 yr http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-chicago...&feedID=621 DAN HAYES The White Sox are hopeful a three-day rest will improve A.J. Pierzynski’s health. Pierzynski sat out Tuesday’s 11-4 victory with a minor right oblique strain and will also miss Wednesday’s game, manager Robin Ventura said. Pierzynski, who is among the leaders in most offensive categories for American League catchers, hopes to return Friday. He said the afflicted area bothered him recently, but not enough to keep him out of the lineup. Pierzysnki has played in 83 of the White Sox’ 97 games this season. “It's been kind of bothering me for a while and I've just been playing with it and (Monday) I took a swing and it just kind of sparked up a little bit," Pierzynski said. "I hope so. I think so. I got treatment all day (Tuesday). I'll get treatment all day again (Wednesday). Thursday, we'll see what happens, but I'm certainly hoping for Friday."

July 25, 201213 yr Aj could use a break. I hope they get Flowers more time moving forward. Older catchers are not expected to carry that workload.
July 25, 201213 yr *breathes sigh of relief* So, it seems we're not going to need a bigger boat after all.
July 25, 201213 yr Excited for T Flow to get a little more time, he's looked better the last couple games. Maybe the thought that he'll get some more at bats reinvigorated him.
